Skipper Cup points table leader Naitasiri is looking forward to shutting down the big Nadi forwards ahead of their clash this weekend.

Naitasiri coach Koli Sewabu says Nadi is always physical and they need to be on top of their game.

Sewabu says they will have the services of Joeli Veitayaki, Eroni Mawi, Jale Railala, Filimoni Seru and Lepani Raiyala who recently played for the Fiji Warriors.

Some of the other big names that are expected to feature for the Naitasiri side are Livai Ikanikoda, Fiji Under 20 loose-head prop Immanuel Naciva and Kini Douglas.

Meanwhile Nadi Team Manager Lasaro Rabaka says they will not underestimate Naitasiri.

Rabaka has confirmed that Jerry Speight, the younger brother of Brumbies and Wallabies winger Henry Speight has been playing well for them and has cemented his spot on the wing in the past two games.

He adds that Samu Saqiwa will captain Nadi this week.

Naitasiri will host Nadi at 3pm Saturday at Ratu Cakobau Park.

In other matches, Rewa will host Malolo at 6pm Friday at Ratu Cakobau Park.

At 3pm Saturday, Suva will also take on Namosi while Nadroga will take on Navosa.
